HL7 Consolidated CDA “Relevant and Pertinent” Project November 5, 2015 David Tao

What’s the Issue? From MU2 clinicians: overly lengthy C-CDAs  cognitive overload, hard to find what they need “Relevant and pertinent” (RnP definition: “pertaining or relating directly and significantly to the matter at hand” – improving transitions of care (ToC) for clinicians and patients Need to understand what specifically should be reduced. And what could improve the situation? RnP recommendations will provide guidance to EHR developers to make future CCDAs as useful and usable as possible YOUR input will make a difference!

Two Complementary Surveys Short Survey for individual clinicians who “do” ToC http://goo.gl/forms/lIxMXfWb2c Goal is to gain clearer understanding of where problems lie Structured answers intended for quantitative analysis (hundreds or even thousands of responses) Long survey for a single consensus group convened to represent an organizational view https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1N5h4ME873SIuWiISmbG_c 6v2RGRa3__p5z5CCbbtR7Q/viewform?usp=send_form Includes some free form answers intended for qualitative review Gathers ideas on possible solutions White Paper (analysis & recommendations) to be written and balloted in 1H2016

Call to Action! Send the short survey link to your members who are clinicians, to complete individually Target completion: end of November As an organization, determine how to convene your “consensus group” to discuss the long survey. Arrive at a set of consensus answers for each question. (May include multiple viewpoints) Submit a single long survey response for your organization, by December 2015. Thank you on behalf of HL7 and future beneficiaries of more usable ToC documents!
